WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury congratulated himself today for outsmarting Oleksandr Usyk’s promoter Alex Krassyuk by getting him to agree to a 30% deal for his fighter for their still un-signed April 29th fight at Wembley Stadium in London.
Unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk just posted a rebuttal to Tyson Fury’s claims that he’s the one that wanted a rematch clause by saying that it was Team Fury that came up with that idea, not his side.
Tyson Fury has uploaded another short video, in which he lays down yet another demand going into the (we hope) April 29 heavyweight unification battle with rival champion Oleksandr Usyk.

Fans have of course heard the news: how the Tyson Fury-Oleksandr Usyk heavyweight unification showdown is at last ON.
